Saving Money as a Student

Whether you have gone to university for the first time this year or you are a returning student, something that most students know is that money is tight and you need to make your money go as far as possible.

Something that you will need to do is to buy the things that you need for your course. Obviously what you will need depends on what course you are doing, but here are some of the ways that you can get what you need for less…

Go to Charity Shops – Charity shops can be a fantastic place to find a bargain. You never know what you are going to find – they are particularly good if you are looking for cheap homewares such as towels and bedding.

Buy Refurbished Tech – Most students will need a computer or laptop to be able to complete their work and buying tech that has been refurbished is a great way to get what you need for less. Cheap laptops from places like this www.refurbishedlaptops.co.uk can be considerably cheaper than buying new.

Have a Look at Online Second Hand Sites – Preloved and eBay and other sites like them can be a great place to get a bargain. Have a look online as there could be students selling things that they no longer need that could be useful to you, and it will be less expensive than buying new.
